All about Finn | Fractured Lines by Jen McLaughlin

he lines we once crossed so easily have widened and torn us apart…

Once upon a time I thought Finn and I would live happily ever after, but real life doesn't always have a happy ending. He's testing my trust, and I'm losing faith in the man I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with, and there’s nothing I do can stop it. He’s the one I trusted to keep me safe, but now he’s the source of my greatest pain…

Forgiveness is fragile, and some fractures never fully heal...

One mistake—a slip in a moment of weakness—might cost me everything I've worked so hard for. The thing about trust is that it's a lot easier to lose than it is to build. Just as I'm about to give up and surrender to the demons from my past, an unexpected threat reminds me what I'm best at: protecting the woman I love. Whether or not she wants me, I will fight for Carrie and our daughter, and I will keep them safe—no matter the cost.Even if I have to put my life and my heart on the line.

Finn Coram

As one
reviewer put it, “Oh, Finn, Finn, Finn, Finn-ey, Finn, Finn.”There’s
just something about Finn from the OUT OF LINE series that makes female hearts
go aflutter. Maybe it’s the fact that he was/is a Marine. Maybe it’s the Harley
he rides. Maybe it’s the surfing. Or the fact that he can kick ass without even
breaking a sweat.I’m
not sure what it is, but there’s just something that makes him irresistible to
readers and myself alike. When I wrote their third book (which was planned to
be the last) it was so bittersweet. Being in Finn’s head was just so much FUN.
He’s protective, but daring. Sweet, but dominant. Hot, but sensitive.When I
thought we were done forever, I was sad, but okay with it. After the readers
had finished, I got countless emails begging me to continue the story. I didn’t
think it was possible, but then…it hit me. I could write Finn as an adult! And
so FRACTURED LINES came into existence.One of
the most fun parts about writing him in four books is the progression of his
dirty talk. I thought it would be fun to highlight one line from each book, to
show you what I mean! So here goes!OUT OF LINE

“Have
you kissed Cory again?”

“W-What?”
I asked, caught off guard.

“Since
you kissed me, have you kissed him?” he asked, his jaw ticking.

I
shook my head. “No. Of course not. Just the once.”

OUT OF TIME

His
gaze latched on my hand. “Take off everything but the heels and the...” he
said, his voice gruff. He gestured to my thigh-highs, “...the tights or
whatever they’re called.”

“Finn.”

“You
have no idea how beautiful you look right now,” he said, his voice so low I
barely heard him. I wanted to press my thighs together to ease the empty ache I
was feeling without him inside of me, but I couldn’t. Not with him in between
them. “I bet you want me to taste you again. Don’t you?”

OUT OF MIND

“Tell.
Me.”

“Finn.” I grabbed his hand and pressed it
back where I wanted it. No, where I needed it. He couldn’t stop now. Not when I
was so close. “Please.”

“Tell
me the truth, and then I will.”

“Y-Yes.
I did it, okay?” I moaned when he rubbed me again, but too lightly. Not enough.
Not nearly enough. I knew I was being too loud, but even knowing it didn’t make
me stop. “Finn, please.”

“You
touched yourself and imagined it was me?” He nibbled on my neck and thrust a
finger inside me again. Thank freaking God. “Was it my lips or my fingers when
you did it?”

FRACTURED LINES

“Excuse me? Are you talking back?”

“N-No.” I licked my parched lips. “I
just—”He caressed my butt, his fingers gliding
over the side and across my thigh. When he closed his hand over my core from
behind, his fingers dipping inside me just enough to drive me crazy, I
collapsed against his chest. “From now on, the only words allowed out of your
mouth are more, yes, please, and sir. Got
it?”I nodded frantically, silently willing his
fingers to move over me. To
bring me to the edge again. “Yes, sir.”
